On November 28, 2019, the Italian police raided the homes of 19 right-wing
extremists in various parts of Italy seizing an incredible amount of weapons,
including pistols, hunting rifles and crossbows. Earlier in July police had
found a huge stash of weapons including an air-to-air missile that they linked
to this group of far-right extremists openly pro-Nazi, xenophobic, anti-Semitic
and calling themselves the "Partito Nazionalsocialista Italiano dei Lavoratori"
- the Italian National Socialist Workers' Party. The group had set up a chat
group for the military-style training of militants and made contact with other
neo-Nazi groups outside Italy, including the Aryan White Machine and the Nova
Ordem Social. The group had forged links with extremist groups abroad, including
in Portugal, Britain and France, police said.
Among the items seized were
Nazi paraphernalia, swastika wall decorations and posters, pictures of Adolf
Hitler, and several flags. The raids seem to have stopped the short lived
group's activities for the time being. The defense of fascism and efforts to
revive fascist parties are criminal offences in Italy.
